Mahle SmartBike Systems, which has been present on the e-bike market for years with hub drives, is now expanding its range to include a mid-drive for the first time, thereby entering the e-mountain bike segment. The M40 unit weighs a competitive 2.5 kilograms and generates a strong torque of 105 Newton meters as well as a peak power of 850 watts.

Newly developed batteries (534 and 800 watt hours), controller, display and other accessories complete the M40 drive system, which is also compatible with all contents of the established Mahle range. The integrated software uses the speed sensor to ensure a smooth, progressive engine response without jerky movements or abrupt power peaks. The system collects driving data and adapts the assistance dynamically and precisely. With the ability to detect changes in speed over a distance of less than three centimetres, the system offers greater accuracy than comparable offerings on the market.

The system is also well positioned in terms of connectivity: users can connect to the Mahle SmartBike Systems digital ecosystem via their e-bike, laptop, smartphone or Apple Watch and access its numerous functionalities.
